You can use this guide for replacing the keyboard or accessing the internal memory slot which is located under the keyboard.
This guide might work for some other Sony Vaio VGN-T series laptops. Please mention the model number in comments below if it works for you.

In this guide I will be taking apart a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ series laptop. In my case I’m working with a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ330p laptop but the guide should work for the entire VGN-SZ line.
This guide will help you to remove and replace the keyboard in a Sony Vaio VGN-C series laptop.
I’m replacing the keyboard in a Sony Vaio VGN-C250N laptop but most likely you can use these instructions for the entire VGN-C line. If it works for your laptop, please mention the model number in comments below.
Also, I found another model number on the sticker: Model PCG-6R3L.
In this guide I explain how to remove the keyboard and access both memory modules in a Sony Vaio PCG-V505 series laptop. The whole process will not take more than 10-15 minutes and can be done even by an inexperienced user. In one of the previous posts I explained how to remove and upgrade the hard drive in the same Sony Vaio PCG-V505 laptop.
This guide will help you to remove and replace memory, hard drive, optical drive and keyboard in Sony Vaio VGN-FE series laptops. As an example I took a Sony Vaio VGN-FE855E laptop. All these parts can be removed without opening the laptop case.
If this guide works for your Vaio, please mention the model number in comments below. This will help other users with similar laptops.
In this guide I explain how to disassemble Sony Vaio TZ series laptops in order to remove and replace the hard drive. As an example I took a Sony Vaio TZ130N laptop (Model: PCG-4L3L). In this little laptop the hard drive is buried deep inside the case and we’ll have to disassemble the whole thing apart.
I assume that my guide will work for the entire Sony Vaio TZ line of laptops. If it works for you, please mention the model number in the comments below.
Do not forget to turn off the laptop and remove the battery. Work in static-free environment.
In the following guide I will open up the display panel and remove LCD screen with inverter board from a Sony Vaio PCG-K series laptop. As an example I’ll be taking apart a Sony Vaio PCG-K33 laptop. These instructions should work for many other laptops in PCG-K line.
By the way, in one of the previous posts I explain how to access the power jack.
There are four screws securing the display bezel (mask) to the LCD cover. These screws are hidden under four rubber covers. Two black covers on the top of the bezel (marked with yellow squares) and two white covers (marked with red squares).
In the following guide I explain how to take apart a Sony Vaio VGN-S360P laptop and replace broken power jack (aka power connector or DC jack). I’m not sure if this guide will work for the entire Vaio VGN-S line or laptops but I think it will be pretty close. If you have a different Sony Vaio laptop and these instructions work for you, I would really appreciate if you mention your laptop model in the comments for benefit of other readers.
My reason for taking it apart is replacing the broken power jack but I will remove all major components so you know how to do that.
First of all, turn off the laptop, unplug the power adapter and remove the battery.
This guide explains how you can remove and replaced damaged keyboard on a Sony Vaio VGN-S150 laptop. I assume the guide will work for some other Sony Vaio models with the same case.
For this repair you’ll need only one tool – a small flathead screwdriver.
The keyboard is secured to the laptop case by two small latches located above F4 and F12 keys.
Use a screwdriver or other thin metal blade to push the spring loaded hold-downs above the F4 key upward, and pry up the left side of the keyboard. Hold it up a little with your fingers and then release the catch above the F12 key. Be GENTLE. If the keyboard doesn’t lift easily you have not released the spring hold-downs properly. The keyboard is flexible and easily damaged if you use too much force. Lift the keyboard and lay it face down so you can see the ribbon cable connector on the mother board.
